The Belgian has played a key role in Tottenham's successful campaign this season, making 15 appearances in all competitions for Mauricio Pochettino's side, and forming a formidable partnership with Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez at the heart of Spurs' defence.

Saturday's game against the Gunners will be a real test of the Lilywhites mettle, and they will need the 30-year-old centre-back to be fully fit and firing, with the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Alexandre Lacazette and Mesut Ozil expected to lead the line for Arsene Wenger's men.

"Yeah, nothing to worry about. I've been struggling for two weeks with it and that's why I didn't play against West Ham in the Carabao Cup but all good, I feel very good today, I am ready for the weekend."
